Hollens farm cottage has been successfully let now for over ten years and is booked up very quickly every year. If you are looking for a holiday home full of character in a quiet location within a short walk of Grasmere village we feel sure you will be delighted with Hollens Farm Cottage.
The property dates from the early 19th century When it was the dairyman's cottage, the farm ran a Jersey herd and supplied creamy milk to Grasmere. It was thought originally to have been a pub standing amid a small cluster of old farm buildings which have been variously adapted over the years into several homes.
Hollens Farm Cottage has been lovingly restored by its local owners Andy and Chrissy Hill where they lived for many happy years after they converted it. Sadly dogs, cats and children in that order finally meant they had to move and finding it hard to sell the cottage they decided to let it so that many could relax in it's warm and homely traditional atmosphere.
